# CVE-2026-84503: Ansible-core: ansible-core: ansible.builtin.git invokes git without a `--` separator, allowing argument injection via a `-`-leading repository url (e.g. --upload-pack) -> rce Status: published. Published: 2026-11-09. Updated: 2026-11-09. A flaw was found in ansible-core's ansible.builtin.git module. The module invokes git (ls-remote, clone, fetch) with the repository URL as a positional argument and without a "--" separator, so a repository URL that begins with a dash is interpreted by git as a command-line option. A caller that passes an attacker-controlled repository URL to the module can trigger argument injection (for example --upload-pack/--exec), resulting in arbitrary command execution on the host running the module. ## Remediation No remediation reported in collected sources ## Affected products and versions - Red Hat / Migration Toolkit for Applications 8 (mta/mta-rhel9-operator): Version range not reported.
